💩 and 🌼 for Caerellia and Romy

💩 for a ridiculous headcanon

(nsfw 🤫) this isn't really a headcanon but one of the most ridiculous things about my process for designing caerellia was that i needed to make her horns optimal for having her face sat on. sorry, not sorry! it was a high priority!

almost everything about romy is at least a little bit ridiculous OIFJAWEOIF i think one of the most ridiculous ones was that she and her best friend met on campus at med school bc her skirt was tucked into her undies after using the restroom and her future-bestie not only was the only one who told her but then mooned everyone to make them laugh at her instead. claire is A REAL ONE, even if she is in fact an icky girl who smells like hot dogs. they will both make absolute fools out of themselves for the sake of the other.

🌼 for a happiness headcanon

caerellia is happiest on a beach or in the water. her whole life she'd desperately yearned for her home city to be close to water and never thought that would be the case - but luckily for her, through the power of an ancient butch goddess hottie, the ocean came back after hundreds of years. her jumping into the new water in her fancy dress, a big smile plastered on her face, and splashing around with the gremlin orphans she helps take care of always lives in my mind.

romy is also an ocean girl, having grown up surfing in california. early summer mornings on her board are when she's at her second-most peaceful. sometimes when i'm sad, i think about her and two of her future wives (ambrose and tane) teaching their kiddo(s) how to surf on a sunday morning until they get called in for sunday brunch 😭 naga-blackthorns MY BELOVED COMFORT LESBIAN POLYCULE

Caerellia and Romy, hc's 12, 13, 14! ❤️❤️

12. Jewelry headcanon

caerellia: as with all things aesthetic, caerellia looooves jewelry. her horns are always adorned thoroughly, and she doesn't believe in the "take off one accessory before you leave the house" rule when it comes to jewelry. but she does have sensory issues, so she enchants it all to be quiet and not make a lot of noise, especially around her ears.

romy: doesn't wear a lot of jewelry except for in her ears and septum most days; it's a bit too inconvenient to take it on and off for work. however, her biggest weakness is watching a partner take off a bunch of rings.

13. Nickname headcanon

caerellia: caerellia doesn't have a lot of nicknames, despite her name being so long and able to be shortened into a bunch of different parts. i think the most used shortening of it is cae, but it's not super common for people to call her that. other than her name or "councilor," i think she most often gets called "brat" but that's mostly from zariel and caerellia's bodyguard, constant. 😔

romy: she almost exclusively goes by "ro." the only people who call her romy are her family (sometimes) and one of her friends who used to call her that when they were kids.

14. Dancing headcanon

caerellia: answered here 💕

romy: canonically (within the world state of our ttrpg universe lmao), she holds a world record in dance dance revolution. 😌✌ she used to go to the arcade every day weekend when she was a teenager and play ddr until she literally couldn't anymore.

wip of dem LIPS ✌ doing all of these different faces at different angles without going FULL into really precise lineart details* is really helping me narrow down a style that i am pleased with 💕

[vulpixelates]

i absolutely despise how many hozier songs make me think of the little lesbians that live in my head. so stereotypical

[vulpixelates]

💪 transbian muscle femme reporting for duty. she messy but so is the character so i think it’s fitting 💕

[vulpixelates]

someone remind me to make a detailed list tomorrow of all of the LIs for the ttrpg game my wife and i play bc we wished grey's was more lesbian, trans, and butch

[vulpixelates]

• Name: Romy "Ro" Cho Naga-Blackthorn • Class: The Gambini • Age: 30 • Backgrounds: Flesh Wound • LIs: too many oops •

• character tag • inspo tag • ro's ROs •

Adopted by Michelle Cho and Ira Cohen as a baby, Ro spent her life trailing behind her renowned vascular surgeon of a mother at the various hospitals she worked within. While most kids were learning to tie their shoes, Ro was practicing sutures at the nurse's station with her aunt Esther and sitting in galleries watching her mother perform complex surgeries. There was never any doubt in her mind what she wanted to do when she grew up, despite her parents' slight disapproval: Ro was a surgeon, or at least she was damn sure going to work her ass off to be.

She worked her ass off to excel throughout her biomedical engineering undergrad degree and later through med school, also working a full time content creation job to pay for both her transition and her schooling.

Throughout her residency, she went back and forth on what specialty she would choose. What she truly loved working with was nerves, which could have gone a few ways - plastics, neuro, ortho, etc. Eventually, she settled into being double certified in ortho and neuro (specifically, pediatric neuro), loving the challenge and specializing in spines and nerves.

Notable Abilities

Not particularly gifted in magic, but can pick up on it easily once it is done to her. Therefore, she's picked up a few tricks from those around her, including Machado's prophetic dreams.

Has never met a mechanical device that she couldn't fix.

Literally a brain surgeon who sometimes teams up with one of her wives to operate on fetuses' spines.

Holds a world record in DDR and a few in assorted video game speed runs.

Uses 3D design combined with her knowledge of biomechanics to make fully articulated TTRPG minis. What, like it's hard?

Connections

Ward Easton - her bestie since residency

Claire Berkowitz (of the Berkowitz family dental dynasty) - bestie since they became roomies in med school, absolutely inseparable and codependent

Yardena Cohen aka Gigi Coco - her grandmother on her father's side and her biggest cheerleader; might be a former ecoterrorist who knows

Isidora Jacinto - her long lost biological little sister who is, uh, far too much like her in every way and is WAY too close to beating her DDR record

Misc

Japanese and Filipina, though she was raised by her Jewish father and Korean mother

💖🌹 for the asks?

thanks for the ask! i'll answer these about my ttrpg gal romy bc i've been playing her today.

💖 Has your OC ever been in love, be it romantic or platonic or otherwise? Who with and did they ever express their feelings or keep it private? How long did these feelings persist / do they still feel this way?

ro has never been the type to be open about her romantic feelings towards others without them making the first move (and even then, sometimes she still runs away screaming "I HAVE COMMITMENT ISSUES DUE TO SELF-WORTH PROBLEMS.")

the first time she ever felt like she was in romantic love was when she was 15 and she never said anything but every time she sees her, it all comes flooding back. same with the woman from the second time - that time she was older, though, in med school but not much wiser. throughout the time period i play her (about 5-6 years) she has a lot of growth in this department and learns how to be a big girl about her feelings.

however, she is in platonic love with her two best friends, claire and ward, and will shout it from the rooftops. she loves her pals.

🌹 How easy is it for them to connect with others and make friends? On the flip side how easy is it for them to make an enemy of someone? Are they the kind of person who hangs around the food table at a party and never talks to anyone or are they the type who can talk to anyone?

when she was younger she had a really hard time connecting to other people because of issues with confidence. she's learned how to make friends easier as an adult, thankfully, and has learned how to express her extroverted self more confidently.

as for the enemy bit, she uh. tries really hard to get everyone to like her all the time but there have been a few exceptions to this where she's made enemies pretty quickly.

🥛For Romy Cho 💕and😡 for Caerellia Asperanas

🥛for a drink headcanon

for ro, it's the sweeter the better when it comes to drinks, whether it be tea, coffee, cocktails -- anything! she's the kind of woman who shows up to rounds w an iced coffee w a huge pile of whipped cream, two kinds of drizzles, and a big donut to eat with it.

💕 for a love headcanon

despite her status as the granddaughter of glasya making everyone assume that she has always been promiscuous, she really hasn't been until around the start of the campaign -- unless you count yearly orgies at the bacchanal of fleshy decadence (which she doesn't! that's just tradition!)

for most of her life, she put the idea of romance into a tiny little box on the shelf that she dusts off, opens, and pines for every so often before tucking it back away behind a row of horny lesbian poetry because she truly believed it would never happen for her, especially after her father sabotaged her and her childhood sweetheart.

😡 for an anger headcanon

caerellia vacillates wildly between "calm, diplomatic, charismastic leader" and "i'll send you back to your boss missing body parts if you bring me an insulting bit of news/message, watch out," especially depending on where in her arc she's in 🙃 when she is corrupted by gargauth, you DO. NOT. want to fuck w her. she will do some wild and crazy shit to prove to everyone that she should be feared and obeyed. but luckily (FOR EVERYONE), this doesn't last long aoiwejfaoiw

OIFJAOEWIF i was showing my wife this photo (twitter link, mildly nsfw for boob grabbing?) and joking about doing a redraw w one of our gays and she had the funniest idea: ro and her 6'9" former wn/ba ass girlfriend ander w ander's head out of the frame bc she's so tall

[vulpixelates]

what drugs was i on when i decided on some of these baby names for some of my ocs' future kids lmao

on my list of definite baby names for ro's second set of twins are rime sonder and revel danger??? RIME AND REVEL? their parents are all like doctors and scientists why would they name their children like this aoeifjaoi the first set is theory trouble and vesper trouble (double trouble) which are already kinda out there but on the other list of names were peril and calamity OFIAJEFOAI what am i smoking

more of my lesbians in this picrew 👉👈

top is unnamed tabris & morrigan, bottom left is rhys & ro, bottom right is gideon & wyatt (two of talia's wives to round out the one i did of her and castor)

[vulpixelates]

Pls 🐁 for all the girlies? 🥺👉👈

🐁 Capybaras are friend-shaped. What shape does your OC have?

ooooo i love this... okay. the first one i thought of an answer for was ollie: she is shaped like an amorphous blob composed of dyke drama and trauma. caerellia is sapphic-coded longsword shaped. ro is one of those really aesthetic, pastel pink gaming set ups shaped. i don't make the rules (even tho i do)

[vulpixelates]

my wife and i's one-on-one ttrpg games are so very serious

[vulpixelates]

something terrible and extremely lesbian has happened in the lastest au of my oc ro's game aoiejaoifw she has now possibly gotten a *check's notes* 9th future wife

the initial set up for her entire character being made was literally my wife and i wanting to tell a gr*y's style hospital drama but EXTREMELY LESBIAN. she started off w this kind of like. idk. irredeemably fucked up woman named gabrielle pierce who lies to ro their entire relationship and avoids telling her anything deep about herself, including the fact that she's fucking married until her wife shows up and does a play on the classic addison line of "you must be the woman fucking my [wife]"

but. for our latest au we wanted to make pierce more redeemable. the good news: we succeeded. the bad news: we succeeded so well that she's been added to the polycule. (rest under the cut bc i rambled a bit too much)

it's honestly like. kind of a beautiful story afeoijaofiewja i didn't find her irredeemable the first time around bc the entire reason they broke up was a tragic story about her and her wife's baby dying and them separating because of it (they've never been actively together during the cheating, always separated; ro's just mad that she wasn't told the full truth) but what DID make her untouchable to me was that she used to bully one of the other of ro's ROs years earlier in college bc she was sad and broken and thought that the other woman had this perfect little life when really she was fucked up too

but now they're all getting a chance to heal together and IT'S SO CUTE AOIFEJAOIJ it's still in hte early stages of "oh shit i still have feelings for her years later and she's been working on herself and oh shit how do i explain this to anyone fuck lmao" but i think it has the potential to be so sweet. the entire group of them are all mildly traumatized and extremely neurodivergent so i think it will be good for pierce to go from having pushed everyone away to being surrounded by people who care for her aofijwaoeifa

anyway the moral of this story is that i can't resist sad girls in ttrpgs and ABSOLUTELY HAVE to make them happy by any means necessary but especially by kissing means :/
